Koeman: Utd Schneiderlin bid ‘not serious’

Date published: Monday 6th July 2015 3:08

United submitted an offer for Schneiderlin two weeks ago, Koeman has confirmed, but the Red Devils have failed to follow that up with a second approach for a player Saints are said to value at £25million.

Koeman said: “There’s a lot of speculation, but two weeks ago we had a bid of Manchester United, it wasn’t enough, it wasn’t serious, and no more bids till today.

“Everybody knows the situation of Morgan. I understand the player – if he can get a big move to a big one (club), I can understand it.

“I hope that if there is any business, that it will be soon because it’s best for the player, best for us, we have to prepare ourselves if we sell the player.

“No, of course I’ve had a lot of meeting with Morgan. I had a meeting last week with Morgan, everybody knows his situation. But it’s important for the player to do a good pre-season. And we will see what happens in the next few days.

“I don’t talk about money, about numbers, it’s not my business, it’s up to the club.”
